John Masters Posted January 1 Posted January 1 This ism first sci-fi build ever. I saw Episode IV in 1977 in DesMoines, Iowa when it was first released and I have been hooked ever since. It's the best of the whole franchise, imho. In any case... Bandai, OOB, Vallejo USAAF Grey for the colour and other Vallejo metals, etc...After sealing the decals with matte varnish I carefully used a fine grit sanding stick and wore them down a bit. I also used Flory-Wash for the weathering. I watched the film again to make sure. Yes...Red 5 was a grubby piece of work, but oh so reliable. I skipped the proton torpedo parts because I thought it looked hokey. This has been on the modelling bucket list for a while. I was very impressed by the kit. It all fits beautifully together and has excellent moulded detail. I enjoyed myself so much I have a B and Y Wing enroute as well as another X-Wing so I can have one with the landing gear down. Fun, fun, fun...Now, if only the Millennium Falcon kit in 1/72nd wasn't 500€... --John 27 1
